+Smoke test for each component of LibreOffice.
+
+* smoketest:
+
+ The main smoketest.cxx is launched connects via binary UNO
+over a socket to a remote LibreOffice instance. This loads a document
+which is zipped at build time into the workdir/ from the data/
+directory. This in turn contains a set of macros in
+data/Basic/Standard.
+
+ Smoketest.cxx does a remote the StartTestWithDefaultOptions
+macro and waits for a dispatchFinished from the macro's execution. To
+debug this best load workdir/Zip/smoketestdoc.sxw - and hit 'start
+smoketest' - this will launch a number of components and build a
+suitable report in the form of a table.
+
+ The StarBasic smoketests also log their output, this ends up
+in instdir/user/temp/smoketest.log.
